Custennin is Welsh in Origin.

Custennin is a medieval Welsh form of Latin Constantinus, from constans “steadfast, constant.” In Brythonic tradition it names both saints and rulers: Welsh sources remember Cystennin Fendigaid “Constantine the Blessed,” and the cult left traces in place-names such as Llangystennin (Conwy). The name surfaces in Welsh genealogies and narrative history, including the British Constantines popularized in Geoffrey of Monmouth, echoing post-Roman kings of Dumnonia. Its meaning aligns with virtues prized in early Christian Britain - reliability and firm faith.

Variants include modern Welsh Cystennin; Cornish Costenten/Costantin; Breton Konstantin/Kostantin; English Constantine; Latin Constantinus; French Constantin; Italian and Spanish Constantino; Romanian Constantin; Irish and Scottish Gaelic Constantín; Russian and other Slavic Konstantin/Ko(n)stanty (Polish Konstanty). Diminutive or related forms include Costa (Gaelic/Italian), Dino (Italian), and Kostya (Russian). Today Custennin is rare as a given name, prized by parents seeking a distinctive, culturally Welsh link to a pan-European classic.
